Configuring the Base Station Manually
The Base Station Management Tool is a Web-based utility that you can use to
configure your base station for initial setup.
You should use the Base Station Management Tool to configure your base station for
setup only in the following situations:
O
Your computer is not running Microsoft
®
Windows
®
operating system.
O
You want to use the base station as an access point only.
O
You are an advanced user and you do not want to use the Setup Wizard.
In all other situations, you should run the Setup Wizard to configure your base station.
The Setup Wizard automatically configures the base station with your Internet and
other network settings. For information about configuring the base station by using the
Setup Wizard, see Chapter 2, “Setup.”
There are two options for configuring your base station from the Base Station
Management Tool.
Follow the Base Station Setup if you want to share a broadband Internet connection
on your network by using the wireless base station in this kit.
Follow the Access Point Setup if you already have a network with a base station,
router, or gateway, and you want to add wireless connectivity or extend the wireless
range of your network.
In addition to configuring your base station for initial setup, you can also use the Base
Station Management Tool to manage your network settings, customize security
options, and establish special network requirements such as a Web server. For
information about these options, see the MN-700: Base Station Configuration Guide.
You can find this guide on the Setup CD that came with your network products.
